Any chang 00-02 to 03-04 style headlights
Has anyone tried to change the headlights on the 00-02 to 03-04 style headlights. I had a shop install it but found out that 00-02 style has one wire harness input, but 03-04 style has two wire harness inputs. Also the input to the fog light is different.
Do anyone know if there are adaptors out there?

my a$$hole SA in atlanta classic cars wanted >$800 for the installation
found a local MB mechanic that would "try" to install it for $400. still too much in my book. so i got a set of 03 plus clear bi-xenons sitting in my garage for the past 6mo collecting dust. someone in CA used to sell the adapter for about $200 but the shop closed. no easy way around it.

How are you going to install without the adaptors?
I call the local MB dealer here and there is no MB part that goes from one output on the (00-01) to two outputs (03-05). Also the fog plug is different as well. So if you guys have a solution please let me know.

they have to custom make one. i heard it's not that hard for someone who knows a little about electronics. well, i know nothing about electonics. it shouldn't be too expansive for the guys in california to get it custom installed(since there are many shops that do custom works). if you make a couple extra sets, i bet you can make some money selling it here. It can't be more than $20 for the parts. I will pay $100 for it. so if you sell 4 sets, yours is free.

Here is a pic of the 02 back see there is only one input for the harness and output for the fog.
03 has two input and the fog out put is different. I guess the process is xenon to bi-xenon
